re: Spring Breakers up to 70% on Rotten Tomatoes

I go off of a combination of the critic and user review, not just the advertised one. If it's high on critic and low on user than it is usually artsy and full of dialogue, I'll usually pass. If it's high on user and low on critic, it is usually big and dramatic that is usually fun to pass the time but no means a good movie, but I'll go. If it's high on both, I'll go.

I won't go to the high critic/low user because I might miss something in some dialogue somewhere I can't rewind and may become discouraged the rest of the movie. Also, I can't sit in those seats for long amounts of time so I like to be excited when I'm at the theater.

I also look at the user critic Aaron (guy with batman avatar). He usually likes what I like.

The first half was about escaping straight life to experience the "spring break life." The second half was about living the "spring break life" full time. Alien lives the "spring break life" full time. It's who he is. So in a way, yes.

Definitely.

Also, I left the theatre feeling so strange, so ashamed of everyone and everything around me. It's one of those films that you have to walk outside afterwards and think deeply.

Harmony Korine did a masterful job with this piece of satirical cinema. I'll probably go see it again.

quote: trailer was too stupid

To trick the stupid people. Remember when Drive came out? People flocking to Gosling in a car-related action movie when it was actually something very different than the Fast & Furious franchise. It was in Refn's best interest to market it like that and I feel as though the same may be happening now for Korine (haven't seen the movie yet).

When the critic reviews are much higher than the community's = good sign When the community reviews are much higher than the critic's = bad sign
